I saw my Rheumatologist in April for a scheduled appointment. I had been in a great deal of extra pain for a few weeks and was hobbling around with difficulty - I still am! I have all the normal (for me) Lupus stuff of fever, nausea, extreme fatigue, swollen painful joints, peripheral neuropathy, bright red rashes on my neck, upper chest, palms of hands and soles of my feet etc etc etc.
I came away from the appointment feeling really dejected and lost. I had a few x-rays and was told to increase my Plaq to 400mg from 200mg.
Every time I try to do this I end up with migraines every other day instead of 2 or 3 times a month. I also take Methatrexate 15mg and Pred 10mg - plus all the other stuff!!
I received no examination or any other advice.
What happens when you see your Consultant? Is it what you expect and/or hope for? Do you have any suggestions?
Many thanks.
